Elevate your morning routine with Cinnamon Toast Deluxe, a crave-worthy twist on the classic comfort food that's as easy to make as it is irresistible. This recipe pairs thick-cut brioche or sourdough bread with a luscious cinnamon-butter spread made from softened butter, granulated sugar, aromatic ground cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract, all sprinkled with a pinch of salt for perfect balance. Baked to golden caramelized perfection and optionally broiled for an extra crispy finish, this decadent treat combines a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a sweet, spiced aroma that will have your kitchen smelling heavenly. Ready in just 15 minutes, this indulgent toast is perfect for a cozy breakfast or a quick dessert. Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit, a steaming cup of coffee, or a swirl of whipped cream for a touch of indulgence your taste buds will thank you for.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a baking rack in the center of the oven.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture forms a smooth, spreadable paste.
Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Spread an even layer of the cinnamon-butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring the entire surface is well-coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the bread start to turn golden brown and the butter mixture becomes bubbly and caramelized.
For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes. Keep a close watch to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cinnamon toast cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own, or pair with fresh fruit, coffee, or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
